A-LEVEL EMISTRY EM OUNDATION EMISTRY Mark Scheme June 206 Version:.0 inal
MARK SEME A-LEVEL EMISTRY EM JUNE 206 Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment Writer. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper. urther copies of this mark scheme are available from aqa.org.uk 2

MARK SEME A-LEVEL EMISTRY EM JUNE 206 General principles applied to marking EM papers by MI+ (June 206) It is important to note that the guidance given here is generic and specific variations may be made in the mark scheme. Basic principles Examiners should note that throughout the mark scheme, items that are underlined are required information to gain credit. Occasionally a response involves incorrect chemistry and the mark scheme records E = 0, which means a chemical error has occurred and no credit is given for that section of the clip or for the whole clip. The List principle and the use of ignore in the mark scheme If a question requires one answer and a candidate gives two answers, no mark is scored if one answer is correct and one answer is incorrect. There is no penalty if both answers are correct. N.B. ertain answers are designated in the mark scheme as those that the examiner should Ignore. These answers are not counted as part of the list and should be ignored and will not be penalised. Incorrect case for element symbol The use of an incorrect case for the symbol of an element should be penalised once only within a clip. or example, penalise the use of h for hydrogen, L for chlorine or br for bromine. Spelling In general The names of organic chemical compounds and functional groups must be spelled correctly, when specifically asked for, to gain credit. Phonetic spelling may be acceptable for some chemical compounds (e.g. amonia would be phonetically acceptable. owever, ammoniam would be unacceptable since it is ambiguous). N.B. Some terms may be required to be spelled correctly or an idea needs to be articulated with clarity, as part of the Quality of Language (QoL) marking. These will be identified in the mark scheme and marks are awarded only if the QoL criterion is satisfied. 4
MARK SEME A-LEVEL EMISTRY EM JUNE 206 Equations In general Equations must be balanced. State symbols are generally ignored, unless specifically required in the mark scheme Lone Pairs The following representations of lone pairs in structures are acceptable. Br Reagents with or without the 2 electrons shown OR OR x x OR x x OR x The command word Identify, allows the candidate to choose to use either the name or the formula of a reagent in their answer. In some circumstances, the list principle may apply when the name and formula contradict. Specific details will be given in mark schemes. x Marking calculations In general A correct answer alone will score full marks unless the necessity to show working is specifically required in the question. If a candidate has made an arithmetical error or a transcription error deduct one mark, but continue marking (error carried forward). 5
MARK SEME A-LEVEL EMISTRY EM JUNE 206 Organic structures In general Displayed formulae must show all of the bonds and all of the atoms in the molecule, but need not show correct bond angles. Bonds should be drawn correctly between the relevant atoms. Latitude should be given to the representation of bonds in structures, given that 3 is considered to be interchangeable with 3 even though the latter would be preferred. The following representations are allowed:- 3 3 6
